Personally, I generally still favour dark rooms with a shadow behind the decks and the focus squarely on the dancefloor, so we're not exactly in disagreement here.


I think possible "solution" or a next stage in evolution to this thing we call partying - is to just eliminate the stage all together. Put the DJ in the middle of the dancefloor so as to diminish any sense of grandeur that was built up over time for people who just play tunes.

Or just put the DJ booth in the middle of the floor and turn it into a free-for-all to see who gets to man the controls. DJ Darwinism - last person standing gets to play!

But, since we are the ones who are paying for that particular DJ's performance (and not for the antics of the deluded entourage who try to leech off some of the headliner's glory), the onus is on the DJ to show a sufficent amount of respect, by at least giving the impression that they are as engrossed in the music as they want the crowd (who are so attentively and courteously facing them) to be. If the DJ wants to hang around with mates, go have a barbecue in your own bloody time, and not at our expense.

That's how it used to be, or have the DJ hidden altogether. We're going in the opposite direction, and it doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon.
